March 2023 Current Affairs Quiz
Why the India’s GDP Growth On a Downturn:
A complex interplay of geopolitical events, stubbornly high inflation — and sharp rate hikes to counter that — have turned the global environment gloomier.
On the domestic front, the peak impact of the rate hikes — 250 basis points since May 2022, which has pushed interest rates above pre-Covid-19 levels — will play out in fiscal 2024.
Inflation Expectation By the CRISIL:
Consumer inflation is expected to fall to 5.0% on average in fiscal 2024, down from 6.8% in fiscal 2023, as a result of the high base effect and some softening in crude and commodity prices. A good rabi harvest would help cool food inflation, while the slowing economy should moderate core inflation.
The risks to inflation are tilted upward, given the ongoing heat wave and the World Meteorological Organization’s prediction that an El Niño warming event is likely over the next couple of months.
Exports Growth Prediction:
Merchandise exports are expected to grow at a slower pace of 2-4% in fiscal 2024, following a 5-7% increase in fiscal 2023, with the PLI scheme supporting demand through global supply chain diversification and ‘friend-shoring’ strategies.
